A compact, block-built sans with squared construction and faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with short diagonal cuts. Strokes are heavy and even, with tight counters and rectangular interior spaces that keep the texture dense. Uppercase forms read as sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase maintains a simple, straight-sided structure with minimal curvature and a single-storey “a.” Figures follow the same octagonal logic, producing a consistent, machined rhythm across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where high impact and quick recognition are priorities. It also fits branding applications like logos and packaging that benefit from a rugged, engineered aesthetic.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling and sports or varsity-style signage. Its angular facets add a slightly futuristic edge while maintaining a familiar, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient voice built from planar facets, combining compact proportions with an industrial, fabricated look for attention-grabbing display typography.
At larger sizes the chiseled corner cuts become a defining detail, giving the face a crisp, fabricated feel. In running text the condensed proportions and dense color create strong impact, favoring short lines and emphatic settings over airy, long-form reading.
